It’s so quiet,
On this phone line.
Talking in the dark.
You’re not saying anything.
Are you even breathing?
What was said?
Did I make you want to cry?
Should I ask?
Or still be the tactless idiot that I am?
“What are you thinking?”
It’s the safe way to go.
“Absolutely nothing.”
You reply back.
God,
I must be a failure.
If I can’t get you to open up to me.
“Are you sure?”
I’ll try again.
Let’s rub some salt,
Into my open cut.
“Yeah,”
“Okay,”
Then the phone line
Drops,
Dead.
Author notes
Okay, so I was supossed to write about nothing and this is it. I think that there really is no nothing. Obviously, you can't have a nothing because it's over used. I think it's lost it's meaning. When something is the matter then people say it's "nothing" when it's obviously a something and, you can't have a nothing. Everything is tangable, touchable, or breakable really. Sorry that this explanation is really long but that's how I feel about... nothing. This is really hard to explain without sounding crazy... I'm going to stop now... Enjoy reading.

I think this is an intense story with alot of secret meanings underneath. Very personal yet universal, something anyone can relate. I like it
